Job burnout is at an all-time high, with about 66 percent of employees experiencing it, according to a FORBES study. RISEUP is a new career development tool designed to help you shape your future and explore career pivots with professional guidance. Here’s a closer look at the startup that aims to transform work culture for the better.
A global approach for effective solutions
RISEUP supports professionals during key moments in their careers. It helps early-career individuals (0–5 years of experience) establish a solid foundation, find their voice, and build confidence to stand out. Mid-career professionals (6–15 years) who feel stuck, burned out, or want to shift toward more meaningful work can also benefit. Returning professionals re-entering the workforce after a break and looking to tell their story confidently and redefine success on their own terms are supported as well. Unlike traditional career programs that mainly focus on landing a job, RISEUP emphasizes growth beyond offers. While many programs focus on interview prep, generic skills, or pre-recorded courses, RISEUP centers on strategic career planning and sustainable workplace development. It combines live webcasts, one-on-one coaching, role-specific tools, simulations, and guided prompts to foster growth in real workplace situations. This approach goes beyond simple job-search tips, offering a comprehensive vision board with practical tools to reinvent your professional story.
Redefining what growth means
In today’s world, success is versatile. An employee can be happy with their position, yet want to redefine what is important to them once they start a family. They may need guidance on redefining their responsibilities and communicating their new vision to their employers. Career guidance is not a cookie-cutter art; it is not a one-size-fits-all solution. RISEUP offers personalized solutions. RISEUP helps professionals define growth based on their current values, goals, and energy, not external expectations. The company guides participants to rebuild their resumes and personal brands with clarity and intention, practice high-stakes conversations and interviews in a safe environment, and grow their careers in alignment with both ambition and well-being.
Unique tools rooted in storytelling and unique media practices
RISEUP was established by Dr. Deepak Bhootra, a sales coach, investor, and experienced business leader who helps sales professionals and entrepreneurs win more while reducing stress. With over 30 years of global experience across four countries, he combines psychology, strategy, and practical execution to enhance sales performance. As the founder and CEO of Jabulani Consulting and a GTM & Sales Advisor for SAt SalesTable, Deepak works closely with teams and leaders to develop a strong sales mindset, close larger deals, and build predictable, sustainable revenue streams. He emphasizes that success through transformative decisions needs tailored support and guidance. RISEUP offers this crucial support through personalized one-on-one mentoring.
In an exciting update, RISEUP has teamed up with NYC-based actor Vaibhav Taparia, renowned for his versatile work in stage and film. He not only appears in the coaching videos but also lends his skills to the coaching components of the program.
Your compass for every big professional decision
RISEUP is more than just a career program; it’s a guiding light during critical moments in our professional lives. Amidst chaos, pressure, and conflicting expectations, RISEUP empowers young professionals worldwide to pause, gain clarity, and make intentional choices. It offers a powerful framework for evaluating opportunities, navigating difficult trade-offs, and pursuing careers that truly reflect their core values, vitality, and long-term vision—rather than succumbing to fear or external validation. Whether choosing to say yes, saying no, or redefining success, RISEUP inspires confidence and purpose, helping emerging leaders around the globe step forward with clarity and boldness.
